Last week I headed over to Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. GVSU was the host of the 2011 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championship. I had the opportunity to cover one day of the tournament for Grand Canyon University. GCU’s Tiffany Hewetson from Brighton, England was in the individual tournament. While shooting for […]

Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph the NCAA Bowling Championship at Skore Lanes in Taylor, MI. It was a three day event and I was photographing it for four of the eight colleges that were there. Those schools were Fairleigh Dickinson University, Vanderbilt University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Kutztown University. Out of those four teams, three of them made it to the final four, and two of those teams made it to the title match. Needless to say I was pretty busy, but thankfully I was able to have fellow photographer, Marek Dziekonski, come out to help me for a little bit. Here are a few photos from the tournament.
I love this time of year. The weather is so nice out and what better way to get outdoors and shoot some softball. Being that baseball was the first sport I started photographing, I always enjoy going out to shoot some baseball and/or softball. I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph Oakland CC […]

This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity to photograph the Women’s Division III Final Four held at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, IL. I was covering the event for Amherst College and also for a newspaper in Massachusetts.
NOTE: I want to apologize for covering my images with watermarks that cover the whole image. However, I have no other choice since I have seen my pictures appearing in various spots without my permission.
I photographed my last basketball game for Oakland CC’s 2010-2011 season last week. The game was held at Oakland CC’s Highland Lake campus where the Delta College Pioneers, from the Midland/Bay City area, took on the Raiders. The Oakland CC Raiders won the game, but it wasn’t an easy one. It was a very close game and both the Pioneers and the Raiders led at different parts of the game. With just seconds left in the game the score was 82-82. Oakland CC’s #1, Daniel McClendon, drove and kicked it out to the corner where Richard Hill, #14, was open for a three pointer, which he hit with just 1.1 seconds left. It was a lot of fun to be there photographing it and it was an awesome game. But wait, it gets better. Tomorrow, 3/1/2011, Delta will travel back down to play Oakland CC again. This time it is playoffs. The two teams will be playing each other in the first round of the MCCAA Tournament. That game is sure to be another fun one.
This past Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph two more basketball games for Oakland CC. It happened to be Pink Zone so the women’s team wore pink. They also had t-shirts for sale and a silent action going on to raise money.
This past week I photographed the Oakland CC vs Macomb CC men’s and women’s basketball games. Being that the games were conference games with about a month left in the regular season made for some intense moments. In the end, Oakland CC men’s and women’s teams both won their games putting themselves closer to the playoffs.

I was able to photograph Oakland CC’s alumni basketball games yesterday. I was glad to do so. Basketball is one of the sports that I really like to shoot.
The present Raiders played the alumni. It was a good time. It was a fun environment, but also a very competitive environment. The men Raiders were not so fortunate. They lost the game to the alumni in a very close game, 81-78.
